When Can I Study Abroad?

The best time to study abroad

differs depending on your

major. Talk to the study

abroad advisor. Generally,

students study abroad during

their Sophomore, Junior, and

Senior year. Students have the

option of studying abroad

during their fall semester,

spring semester, an entire

academic year, or during the

summer.

Getting Started!

WCU is dedicated to

finding the right program

for each student, and

our vast array of partner

universities allows us to do

just that. Email

studyabroad@wcu.edu or

stop by Camp 109 to

with a study abroad

advisor.

Do I Need To Know A

Foreign Language?

Most of our international

partners offer extensive

coursework in English

available to exchange

students. 

How Can I Afford It?

With exchange programs,

students pay regular WCU

tuition and fees. Housing

and meal costs are paid to

the host university. Any

financial aid received at

WCU can be applied to

the program costs. In

addition, students are

eligible to receive travel

grants and scholarships to

help offset the costs of

airfare.
